The Peugeot RHS (DW10ATED) is a 1,997 cc, inline‑four turbo‑diesel engine produced between 2014 and 2021. It features a dual overhead camshaft (DOHC) layout with 16 valves and high — pressure common — rail direct injection, delivering outputs of 133 kW (181 PS) with torque figures of 400 Nm. Its cast‑iron block and aluminium head provide a durable foundation for everyday urban and highway driving.
Fitted to models like the 308 GT, 508 GT, and 3008 GT, the RHS was engineered fo…
Production years 2014–2021 meet Euro 6 standards .
The Peugeot RHS (DW10ATED) is a 1,997 cc inline‑four turbo‑diesel engineered for compact and mid‑size models (2014-2021). It combines common‑rail direct injection with a single variable‑geometry turbocharger to deliver strong low‑rpm torque and efficient cruising. Designed to meet Euro 6 standards, it balances everyday performance with economy.

The Peugeot RHS (DW10ATED) was used across Peugeot's EMP2 platform with transverse mounting. This engine received platform-specific adaptations-reinforced mounts in the 508 and revised exhaust routing in the 3008-and from 2017 facelifted 308 models adopted minor ECU and emissions revisions, creating minor software and hardware interchange limits. All adaptations are documented in OEM technical bulletins.
Engine Finders UK Ltd, which operates EngineCode.uk, can pass your enquiry to engine suppliers in the UK. The service is for vehicles in the United Kingdom, with UK delivery or fitting. This is a commercially connected service, and sending an enquiry does not confirm diagnosis or compatibility.
Diagnostic reminder: If a technician has recommended replacing the engine, you can send an enquiry to engine suppliers in the UK. Confirm the diagnosis first: an engine-code record does not diagnose a fault.
Field reports and technical service bulletins highlight component wear patterns under high-load operation. Adherence to manufacturer service intervals and approved fluid specifications is critical for long-term reliability.

The most common questions about engine codes, what they mean, how to find them and how this database works
The RHS is generally robust with modern Euro 6 diesel technology. Its main weakness is the early EGR cooler, prone to failure before 100,000 km on pre-2017 models. Later revisions and diligent maintenance, especially using correct 5W-30 oil and high-quality fuel, make it a dependable engine for high mileage.
The most frequent issues are EGR cooler failure (causing coolant loss), AdBlue system faults (leading to limp mode), DPF regeneration problems, and turbocharger actuator faults. These are well-documented in PSA service bulletins and are common wear items for engines of this era.
This 2.0L diesel engine was widely used in the Peugeot 308 GT (2014-2021), 508 GT (2014-2021), and 3008 GT (2016-2021). It also powered Citroën models like the C5 Aircross (2017-2021). It was found in high-performance BlueHDi variants, meeting Euro 6 emissions standards.
Yes, but gains are modest. ECU remaps can yield +15-25 kW by optimizing fuel, boost, and AdBlue maps. More significant power requires hardware like a performance turbo, intercooler, and exhaust. The engine responds well to tuning, but the emissions systems are sensitive, so moderate upgrades are recommended.
Excellent for its power output. In a Peugeot 308 GT 2.0 BlueHDi, expect ~5.8 L/100km (city) and ~4.2 L/100km (highway), or around 55 mpg UK combined. Real-world economy typically ranges from 45-55 mpg UK, depending heavily on driving style and vehicle condition.
Yes. The RHS is an interference engine. If the timing chain jumps or breaks, the pistons will collide with the open valves, causing catastrophic engine damage. This makes maintaining the timing chain in good condition absolutely essential.
Peugeot specifies a 5W-30 synthetic oil meeting the PSA B71 2290 standard. Using the correct oil is vital for protecting the high-pressure fuel system and ensuring proper lubrication. Change intervals should not exceed 20,000 km or 12 months to maintain engine health.
